This back and forth is far more divisive.

Seems divisive based on this Carrie quote about the album:

“I’d rather have people be divided on it and feel passionately that it’s our worst or best record than feel nothing.”

well duh.

But that's not the way people think. It's universally loved. There are a handful of idiots like me that think it's slightly less good than the general consensus, but who listens to idiots?

After reading up on it and also reading thoughts on the album in this very thread, it sounds like it has a good formula for being a divisive album. Bands with the cult following that S-K had in their early career don’t get to revamp their sound without dividing their audience, you sillyhead.

You can call me silly all you want, buddy. It may be a good "candidate." But it isn't a divisive album. However, if you need it to be one in order to get into it, then I'm happy to pretend it's SUPER divisive!

YEAH REID

Mods?

If you want divisive you should totally listen to The Center Won't Hold.

Spoiler: show

You're gonna hate it.

But I didn’t ask about that one. I asked about The Woods...

Exactly

Look man. I’m just an outsider looking in, and I’ve been reading this board since 2004. I remember posts when The Woods came out, and I remember it being pretty...whats the word?

Oh yeah, divisive.

Well then you're the expert, stop listening to the noob, brah.

I miss zeb. I'm glad he talks to me about music on social media.

Pretty damning assessment from MF:

It's almost as if time... has... I don't know... leveled things out. It's almost as if first impression reactions are... what's the word....?

meaningless?

I blew a speaker in my car listening to The Woods that summer.
